Three weeks. It's been three weeks since Dawn came. She was doing some progress. Gibson and Otto joust loved to see such a good student. Every time she did as she was told, even the things, which were under ''you don't need to do it if you don't want''. Nova liked her spirit. When she broke the ''wall of past'', she could do about anything. She even called her inter flame…unwontedly she also melted the mechanics hand of monkey in simulation room with that flame.
And Sprx…well he at
least didn't grab anything to hold on any more.
''Dawn. Try to
R-E-L-A-X! Relax. The plain won't eat ya, you know.''
''I know, still,
every time I think how high we are…''
''Don't shake.
You know no one did it in first time…in takes time to be a pilot.''
''How much time did
you need?''
''Ummm…two
lesions.''
''Ouh. Such a
comfort. ''
''Rest of team
needed much more time. Even Chiro.''
Silence. As they
landed she wasn't pale, not even green. She weren't even shaking!
Still…what happen that she didn't response to name Chiro? Nothing
happen. She joust redirects her love to piloting. Successful. She
even dared to do a loping (I think it's the right word, but I'm
not so shore- but in each case- she did a spin; circle in air) and
Sprx was satisfied with her.
''I told you to
relax.''
''Still you said
the other magic word.'' Now she wanted to scare him, so she
closed to the ground and in last second she pull the plain up.
''Don't?'' he
said in hope, before she started to close the ground.
''Don't do that!
Not yet… I know…C-H-I-R-O and Dawn are sitting on a tree…''
''You want to stay
alive or to have a heart attack?'' she asked.
''I'll choose
life.'' When they returned, none of them was pale.
''What's time it
is?''
''It's 14:45.
Why?''
''I'm late!
Antauri won't like this…''
He didn't say anything; still he really didn't like that she was late. His newest way to help her with fear of heights was; climbing. He wanted to know, to which height she can go. Last days they were training her powers and fear to death. She still hated thought on death, but she defeated the fear.
''Do I really need
to look down?''
''It's only a
simulation and yes. I need to know.'' They both sighed.
''Joust relax.''
''These times
everyone tells me that.'' She looked down. It wasn't so bad.
''It's o.k.
here!'' she was high, a bit higher than in spirit world with
Antauri, still not so high like…she shook her head and climbed on.
''Do I think or did
you progressed? In spirit world…''
''Yeah, but till
today I had lesions with Sprx.''
''True. Or did you
devoted your thought to someone else…for example to Chiro?''
''Is it so obvious?
Argh, this wall gives me such a feeling like I'm walking on a
air.''
''Actually you do.
Sometime it's better to think on something else, then on reality,
still not too much. Illusions can't be reality. And yes. Even a
blind person would see your…chemistry. Look down.''
''It's still not
the height where we…'' she mumbled.
''Hmm…did you
forgot to tell anything about reasons for this fear.''
''No. I did told
someone, but not to you…mhm.'' She again shook her head. This
time because she thought that she felt something from the mark.
''are you
alright?'' she was still climbing. She stopped.
''I am…'' she
looked down. Now, the mark started to burn her and she could saw SK
laughing and her father falling…and bleeding.
''…Not.'' She
finished and snuggled to wall. Her eyes were closed.
''No matter what it
is or was; go on.''
''I…I…''
she saw her father falling and bleeding.Again and again... and SK laugh was echoing in her head.
''I can't.''
she whispered.
''You've got to!
Remember; you are here! All you see is in past…it wasn't your
fault. Climb on!''
''I can't…can't''
as she snuggled even closer to wall. She was shaking. Antauri
realized that the action in her past was BIG. If would be something
small…she could go on. Now…he saw the mark. It was covered in
blood.
''Can you climb
down?''
''n…no.''
''Simulation off!''
he said and catch her in her fall. She was still shaking.
''Let's go to
Gibson.''
''I…I…I'm
sorry, but I couldn't…I…I cant'…''
''You don't need
to apologies. There was someone else here, that stopped from your
goal.''
When they get in med.
bay, Sprx was talking to Gibson about something…and Gibson didn't
look with a smile…he noticed Antauri and Dawn.''What happen?''
''Skelly king is
using her fears…'' Dawn sat on bed and she took shirt on her
back up. Mark was covered as it was fresh cutted.'
'As I feared. This
can't be healed by medicine…it looked like it can, still…even
Power of Primate or your Energy can't fix this. What exactly
happen?''
''I was climbing,
cause Antauri was trying to figure till where I can go. On the point
where I stopped it started to burn me and I could see my dad…''
she stopped talking. She even covered her mouth with hand. But only
that because she was still shocked, she had nightmares about this,
but this was so real…
''her dad falling
from cliff. Probably she saw how he feel on rocks too.'' Sprx
finished.
''Now I see why she
couldn't go up, neither down.'' Said Antauri.
''You've got to
start trusting us. Or we can't help you.''
''It's not the
trust which is the problem Gibson. This is my past. My fears, things
that hurt me, it's not easy to tell people about these things. Or
what's happening in my mind.''
''Tell us now. At
least try.'' Said Sprx. She started with dream with SK.And how he's
tourturing her every night (explaining why Chiro is hearing cry)
''That's
explaining how he knew your fears. In your state of sleep, you're
mind is open.''
''Antauri…is it
possible to close it?''
''More would be
appropriate to say protect. Joust imagine great wall around yourself
or anything like that. In that case no one can get close to you.''
''And the offer?''
Sprx asked. Their memory about Mandarin was still there, as a
following shadow.
''I rather be
torture than to join him. He's evil!'' but her thoughts were
directed to other side. Would be true what he said? Would they rescue
her if she weren't the heir? Still, monkeys felt relief.
''You can put your
shirt down…and I advice you to go out! Since you've been here,
you were out only when you ran away!'' said Gibson.
''Ouh, that reminds
me Chiro was looking for ya.''
''He did?''
Dawn was instantly on her feet.
''Now that's I
call fast recovery.'' Noted Gibson, cause Dawn already went
searching him.
''Love.''
Sighed Sprx.
''Speaking of
love…Nova is going to kill you.''
''Why?'' Sprx
was surprise by Antauri's words.
''Remember the
vase?'' said Gibson.
''Um…yeah.''
''And what you have
done to it.'' Continued Antauri.
''What's your
point?''
''SPARKY! YOU
BETTER RUN!''
''Ups…see ya
later!'' Sprx ran and Nova was after him, all furious.
Gibson and Antauri laughed. Meanwhile Dawn went to her room. She wanted to write to diary few sentences. In stead, she found Chiro, standing there and waiting.
''How come you're
here?'' she asked him.
''Um…I wanted to
ask you something.''
''Shoot.''
''Would you go out
with me?''
''You mean like a
date?''
''Silly idea, I
don't know why I asked you.''
''Silly idea yeah.
Cause I should ask you the question.'' A smile played on Chiro's
face and he took her hand and started to pull her.
''C'mon let's
go!'' he impatiently said. Dawn wanted to change her shirt, but
she let Chiro to take her out. When they came across Nova (which was
yelling to Sprx), she quickly said to her:
''Don'twaitus,
we'regoingoutonadait!'' better said she rattled out words
without meaning, still enough that Sprx and Nova got the meaning.
''It was about
time.'' Said Sprx.
''Yeah. Even blind
ones would see.'' Nova agreed, while Sprx tried to sneak.
''Still I'm not
blind'' she said angrily and continued to yell…of course Sprx
yelled back. Ah, typical day.
Note: I watched few old episodes…and I have find out who are Chiro's parents! Watch closely the episode with elevator man. When Chiro comes in some café (the one in which he was with Jinmay in first episode…the one with hearts as windows) he says: mom? Dad Shinko (don't know if I write it right). So, is it possible that they are his parents? And if it's so, then they're the owners of that café! U, I feel so good. You'll probably say why is Dawn thinking so much about the offer, but easeyer answer cannot be given. She's hurted. By those which are close to her. Her minds are more in; if I join him, then I wouldn't be or hurt those which I love...and those which love me. And Gibson is a part right. Trust is responsible too. Now...review! Please?
